Chapter #9

A new development

    by: Tisch Author IconMail Icon
Jack felt a huge pressure raise from off of him and he instantly awoke. The musty air he awoke to made him cough, but he caught his breath in time to see a large pair of fingers reaching into the sock he was in. Snatched up, Jack was incredibly relieved to know he was finally getting out from Maryse's prison of a sock. The woman placed Jack next to her on a bench she found and put her sock back on, slipping on, but not tying, her shoe. "Thanks for finally letting me out of there," Jack said. "Would you finally consider letting me go?" Maryse grinned. "I don't think so, not yet anyway. I actually have some great news." Her right arm reached over her chest and brought over to Jack a figure his exact size. It was Annie. "Annie?!" Jack said, startled. "What the hell.... what happened? And why are you with Maryse?" Annie nudged her glasses on her head. "There was an unfortunate accident in the lab and Maryse happened to come back at the time it had occurred. She was on her way to ask if there were any other volunteers for the durability testing when she found me on the floor. Now here I am."

Jack wanted to laugh, but restrained himself. She likely had become foot supporter number two and was in the same boat as Jack now. His eyes reached over to Maryse. "So, what are you doing now? Are you seriously going to make us support your feet while you run?" he asked. Maryse shrugged. "Just until I get through this next competition. I have a run coming up this weekend and it means quite a bit to me. Considering you have helped me enough as it is, having two of the same kind should surely elevate my running to a level unmatched. Once I get through that competition, I'll have no problem in getting you back to where you need to be." Jack had heard that same promise before of going back to normal. It came from a certain researcher who now was in the same predicament he was in. Jack didn't know whether that was a trustworthy promise or not, but he went along with it. "All right, fine. You win. So long as this is a temporary deal, I'll agree to help you. Just please remember that we need breaks. We're not invulnerable, you know, especially to that odor that you accumulate after an hour's sweat." Maryse smiled. "I'm glad you're helping me out, I really appreciate it." With no further commentary, Maryse grabbed Annie. She gave no resistance, rather just embracing the inevitable outcome that was approaching. Jack could only watch as Maryse dropped her into one of her socks and slipped it on.

*SQUELCH*

Jack could hear the squeezing of Annie against Maryse's foot and the squishy noise of her pressed against the sweaty sock. He shivered and watched as Maryse then put her shoe on, tying it tightly. He was next. Maryse's hand approached Jack and snatched him up. She raised him in the air and gave him a light kiss before doing the same thing to Jack as she had to Annie.

*SQUSH*

Then, it was off to running.

-------------------------


Four days had passed since Jack thought he had a reasonable conversation with Maryse. The competition Maryse was so excited about came and went, with Jack and Annie in her socks the entire way. As she had hoped, Maryse had done stunningly well, winning the entire race and ultimately receiving an award for it. In contrast, Jack and Annie's hopes of returning to normal were dashed the minute Maryse crossed the finish line victorious.

Turning against her word, Maryse, instead of taking Jack and Annie back to the lab to return them to normal, kept taking them home with her, of course stationed under her feet. The success she had had in the past week was astonishing, and that thrill of victory convinced her to never let them go. Friends would come by and talk to Maryse about her success. She would be asked in public from other runners about her success. All the while, her "keys" were in her socks, squirming against her slick feet. Though she treated them with some respect at her home, Maryse would then on see Jack and Annie as merely her tools, keeping them restrained to her feet day in and day out.

Eventually, Jack and Annie resigned to their fate. The helplessness of their situation too much to bear. Every morning, afternoon, and evening, they would be subjected to intense jogging, running, and other endurance training as Maryse kept maintaining. For the rest of their lives, however long they would be, Jack and Annie became synonymous with the squishing noises coming from Maryse's shoes...

THE END.
